Until now, different payments are to be made by two different sets of applicants for the certificate. There is N2500 (which comprises N2000 for the LGA issuing the certificate while the KW-IRS gets N462.50. The balance is for bank charges). This N2500 is paid to the KW-IRS which then remits N2000 to the appropriate LGA.
